I don't know why I'm hungry

Hunger and fullness are normal physiological reactions of the human body. When the body has not eaten for a long time and does not get enough food nutrition, the gastrointestinal part of the human body will react abnormally and feel hungry. However, some people face the problem of not feeling hungry. Especially for diabetic patients, this symptom often occurs. So what is the reason for not feeling hungry?

Diabetic patients must eat at regular times and in fixed amounts, eat light meals with less oil, and cannot eat foods containing sugar. Many patients will not adapt to dietary control and feel unbearable hunger all day long. This is normal because they ate whatever they wanted before the disease was diagnosed. Suddenly, they have developed a taboo and can only endure it for lunch. Let me tell you why diabetic patients don't know why they are hungry.

1. First: Diabetic patients sincerely believe that diet is a more effective treatment method than medicine. Once they have confidence in dietary treatment, they will overcome hunger. As long as hypoglycemia does not occur, they will get used to this eating habit within three weeks at most.

2. Second: Consult your doctor to see if your diet is reasonable and whether your three meals a day should be arranged reasonably. If you feel particularly hungry during a specific time period, you can arrange a meal closer to that time period. If it is really unbearable, you can also add meals and develop a fixed habit.

3. Third: Foods that can ease gastrointestinal emptying and reduce hunger include Chinese cabbage, lettuce, celery, spinach, etc. These vegetables do not contain much sugar and can be added appropriately when you are hungry. ④Sometimes, hunger is related to improper food selection, combination or cooking methods. At this time, we should start by adjusting the glycemic index of food, try to arrange foods with a low glycemic index and avoid using foods or cooking methods with a high glycemic index, such as trying to use coarse grains instead of refined grains. ⑤ Appropriately increase the intake of low-calorie vegetables to delay gastric emptying and reduce hunger. Bitter melon, cucumber, wax gourd, pumpkin, tomato, etc. can generally increase 500g per day.

Note:

If time and conditions permit, you can adopt a diet of small and frequent meals.
